Ploy? What ploy? Where have I gave any indication that there was not a glaring problem with play calling, scheme, other players failing to perform?


These things are not mutually exclusive. The scheme can suck and House can get beat and Cyp can be terrible all at the same time.


What's lost on you was the original point. Malik played well and was benched. Cyp is simply an example of a player who has repeatedly played poorly and has NOT been sat down for it.


Did you SEE the terrible body throw into the back of the receiver? Or the run up straight into the pile of 3 blockers while the runner ran 5 yards to the right of him?


Defend him all you like. Tape doesnt lie.

Cyp is going to be terrible in your eyes regardless of what happens. That's clear.

 

There's been nothing but assumptions and speculation on why Malik was benched.

 

Yea I seen the attempted shoulder/body tackle from Cyp, at like the 3 yard line. He was coming in for clean up duty on a play that was absolutely not his fault at all... He threw a shoulder into the WR, instead of wrapping up (yea not wrapping up was awful on his part), but at the same time Gratz was hitting said WR from the other side which kept him up right and able to end up in the end zone. That play was because of garbage LB play and it wasn't Cyp's fault at all.

 

I also remember seeing Cyp closing up into his gap, while Yannick didn't hold his edge on that run. Yannick moved up the field into the same spot that Cyp was coming down hill to fill his gap. Gordon then broke outside where Yannick would have been if he stayed on his spot.

 

Hate on him all you like. Tape doesn't lie.
